Veterinarian To Speak At Weatherly Graduation

Nancy Lee Kolos, a veterinarian and a 1968 graduate of Weatherly Area High School, will be the main speaker during commencement exercises at 7 p.m. June 14 in the Weatherly Middle School.

She is primarily involved in treating farm animals in the vicinity of Bellefonte, where she resides.

Mrs. Kolos received a bachelor of science degree in animal science at Pennsylvania State University in 1972, then acquired her medical degree as a veterinarian from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1975.

Since graduation, she has been a member of a four-person mixed practice in Bellefonte.

The practice includes one person employed full-time for "companion animals" - mainly dogs and cats, and three others, including Mrs. Kolos, who travel in mobile units responding to calls from farmers.

Approximately 90 percent of Mrs. Kolos' work is responding to farm calls and about 80 percent of this number is devoted to dairy cattle.

However, she has worked closely with the growing population of dairy goats in the Bellefonte area.

She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, the American Association of Sheep and Goat Practitioners, the Pennsylvania Dairy Goat Association, the Centre County Holstein Club, the Pennsylvania Holstein Association and the National Holstein Association.

Mrs. Kolos is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. Allison.

Her husband, John, is a native of Frackville. He is employed by Sire Power Inc., as an artificial insemination technician, breeding dairy cattle.
